It was easy to see it in the beginning, in the way they watched her. She was their light in the darkness, their hope. She was smarter than them all put together and she had promise for their plans. From their first meeting, she sensed it, but the lure of knowledge and something more exciting than all the other schools could offer her was too strong. She ignored her feelings. She ignored the ice cold fear that was creeping at the back of her mind.
And they did things to her.
She was perfect. Just what they needed. She was smart and graceful and beautiful. She was young and healthy. A perfect candidate. And so they used her for their plans. They did things to her. Bad things. Unspeakable things. Things that no one should live through. She came out different. A weapon and a girl, sharing a body. Unnatural.
That’s when River Tam became something else.
